Topology control is a crucial process for an efficient operation of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The usage of WSNs in the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges new research challenges and novel applications. Recent WSNs proposals enhanced with Software Defined Networking (SDN) practices introduce new innovative network control strategies and protocols based on central control logic. This paper introduces...
Monoculture in a computer network is defined as executing the same protocols and software on all the networking devices. Multiple, correlated failures may be triggered in a monoculture network by attacks that exploit existing vulnerabilities in either protocols, software, or hardware. In this paper, optimal multiculture network design is used to improve the network reliability in the presence of correlated...
In Software Defined Networking (SDN), connections between the controller and the switches are maintained in two ways: out-of-band and in-band. In out-of-band controlling, the control channels are constructed via separate links. However, due to several reasons, sometimes in-band controlling is needed instead of out-of-band controlling. In in-band controlling, the data paths are used for control channels...
Software Defined Networking (SDN) has proved to be a promising approach for creating next generation software based network ecosystems. It has provided us with a centralized network provision, a holistic management plane and a well-defined level of abstraction. But, at the same time brings forth new security and management challenges. Research in the field of SDN is primarily focused on reconfiguration,...
Bluetooth 5.0 is revolutionizing the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing design engineers to pioneer innovative solutions while advancing the field of design engineering itself. With up to 4 times the range, 2 times the speed, 8 times the broadcasting message capacity, and improved coexistence with other cellular and wireless technologies, the enhancements of Bluetooth 5 open more possibilities than...

With the increasing complexity of networks, Software Defined Networks (SDNs) have been developed to help administrators configure and operate network services with controllers such as Beacon, OpenDaylight and Floodlight. These controllers provide a suitable platform for high bandwidth applications. In this paper, several SDN controllers are evaluated using different network topologies. Some controllers...
Novel architectures for massively parallel machines offer better scalability and the prospect of achieving linear speedup for sizable problems in many domains. The development of suitable programming models and accompanying software tools for these architectures remains one of the biggest challenges towards exploiting their full potential. We present a multi-layer software abstraction model to develop...
To meet the rising demands on high-performance computing, the number of computing nodes composing a high- performance computing system has been continuously growing. Simultaneously, the complexity of networks linking such computing nodes, or the interconnect, has also been increasing. Taking the scale-out of computing nodes in future high-performance computing systems into consideration, it is unrealistic...
Software Defined Networking is a new networking paradigm that has emerged recently as a promising solution for tackling the inflexibility of the classical IP networks. The centralized approach of SDN yields a broad area for intelligence to optimise the network at various levels. Fault tolerance is considered one of the most current research challenges that facing the SDN, hence, in this paper we introduce...
Instantiating a distributed application that involves extensive inter-node communication onto a network is a challenging task. In this work, we focus on the special case of mapping a network emulation experiment onto a cluster comprising several (possibly heterogeneous) physical machines. We automatically profile the available physical machine resources, and use this information, together with the...
The innovative application of 5G core technologies, namely Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), can help reduce capital and operational expenditures in industrial networks. Nevertheless, SDN expands the attack surface of the communication infrastructure, thus necessitating the introduction of additional security mechanisms. A wind park is a good example of an...
Developing a virtualized network service does not only involve the implementation and configuration of the network functions it is composed of but also its integration and test with management solutions that will control the service in its production environment. These integration tasks require testbeds that offer the needed network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI), like OpenStack, introducing...

We developed the model of software router with a set of modern mechanisms and algorithms service information flows. Using the model of the router we enhanced functionality of the device: added mode of deployment of virtual nodes with the possibility of flexible...
Routing Algorithm is an important mechanism which decides data transferring path in a network. Several existed routing algorithms are derived from a fundamental of graph theory with shortest path approach. A lot of additional network metrics were applied to serve the best quality of service (QoS) to end devices. However, a selected path from the existed algorithms can suffer from additional end-to-end...
Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking promise to radically innovate the way network services are provisioned, especially in terms of dynamic and flexible service delivery. Although the problem of NFV/SDN orchestration is recently gaining increasing interest, the problem of how effectively realizing the as-a-service exposure of network functions and services remains essentially...
Sleep mechanism(SM) is often used to design green network, however, sleep mechanism must take data loss, network performance and other situations into consideration. Due to hierarchical and centralized control, SDN makes it simple to deploy new applications. SDN is becoming more and more popular in new network applications.

Stateful programmable dataplanes are emerging as a disruptive technology and an enabler factor for network function virtualization in SDN environments. In this demo paper we show three real world use cases with stateful forwarding requirements to validate both the hardware and software implementations of the Open Packet Processor data plane.
Virtualized datacenter networks have been deployed in production platforms, e.g., Amazon VPC and VMware's NVP, to offer the flexibility of network management to enterprise-level clients. A common characteristic of these platforms is that they adopt software switches, such as Open vSwitch (OvS), instead of hardware switches to transfer data between VMs. Although group communication is common in enterprise...
